After being scumbag with the paranoid villain, I failed to escape

Chapter 58 Testing whether the wish comes true

Nanshui Lane, Swimming Street.

Since it was a light snow day today, there were not as many pedestrians coming and going in the lanes as usual, so the business of the Herb Hall was a bit bleak.

After Xie Shiyun helped Cai Guoan pack the medicine bags for sale, she stood at the door of the herbal medicine hall and looked around as usual.

Xiaoling filled up the medicines she needed to refill today, and when she saw her young lady looking at the door again, she felt distressed and walked over.

"Miss, please go in and have a rest. My servant will help you keep an eye on it. It's windy outside and it's snowing lightly. Be careful of catching a cold."

Xie Shiyun shook her head stubbornly, with a look of anticipation in her eyes: "No, I have to wait for the young master in person. For some reason, I have a premonition in my heart that he will be there these days. It will come."

The master and servant were talking quietly when they heard a steady middle-aged male voice coming from the small door on the west side of the Herb Hall.

"Shiyun, why don't you stay at the counter in the main hall and stand at the door with your maid? Are you not afraid of catching a cold?"

Xie Shiyun stiffened for a moment when she heard the sound, then pursed her lips and walked to the counter.

Before and after Cai Guoan's death, he first planned to hug himself and call "Daddy", but Cai Guoan frowned and stopped him.

"Okay, this is not the Prime Minister's Office. I told you when you came back that day that you don't need to pay attention to these false etiquette. It's been a few days, haven't you gotten used to it?"

"What dad taught me is, but after all, my daughter has stayed in the capital for a long time, and some of the habits she has developed may be difficult to correct in a while. If dad is..."

Cai Guoan couldn't stand Xie Shiyun's delicate and weak look, and waved her hand to interrupt her: "If you really can't change it, forget it. You will get married anyway."

Hearing this, Xie Shiyun turned pale for a moment, because after arriving in the City of Eternal Cold, she heard that in this area of ​​Swimming Street, it takes two years for a woman to discuss marriage than in the capital.

Usually it starts at the age of fifteen, and this year she just celebrated her fifteenth birthday.

She immediately used the trick she had used on Prime Minister Xie in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, grabbing Cai Guoan's sleeve and saying coquettishly: "Dad, how long has it been since my daughter recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan? She still wants to fulfill her filial piety in front of you. I don't want to do this." We have already discussed the marriage, so my daughter is not in a hurry."

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Cai Guoan screwed up his old face, broke away from Xie Shiyun's grip on his sleeve, touched the black goatee on his chin and looked her up and down.

"Compared to Xiaoyun, you are much better than her in appearance and figure. If you don't agree on a marriage earlier while you are young and get married, do you still want me, the Herb Hall, to keep you? You are not a man and cannot inherit my mantle. If you don't get married, what can you do if you stay here?"

Xiaoling couldn't stand Cai Guoan's idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. Just when she was about to say something for Xie Shiyun, she caught a glimpse of a carriage heading straight towards the location of the Herb Hall.

He quickly interrupted their conversation.

"It seems like a guest is coming."

At this point, Cai Guoan snorted coldly and did not go to see Xie Shiyun who looked down. Before going to the consultation room of the medicine hall, he told Xiaoling: "If you are here for consultation, just bring him in to see me. If you want to buy medicine, just bring him in to see me." With you two hosting the reception, you can't just eat and drink for free at my herb hall, right?"

After Cai Guoan left, Xie Shiyun suppressed her pale face, gathered her thoughts, waved her hands and rejected Xiaoling's comfort, but looked hopefully at the green-roofed carriage that was slowly driving towards here.

If you want to please Cai Guoan, you may not be able to live a good life in the city of Eternal Cold.

She could only hope that the young man with extraordinary clothes and temperament would help her out that day.

After the green-roofed carriage drove near the Herbal Medicine Hall, it found a spacious place to stop.

Then a young man wearing a black winter robe and a fox fur cloak came out.

The young man's high ponytail was blown by the cold wind, and a lot of snow fell on his long eyelashes. Paired with his slightly drooping, cold-looking phoenix eyes, he looked like a tree standing in the wind and snow.

, the green pine trees that refuse to bend give people a sense of alienation and indifference.

The only shortcoming is probably that his overall appearance is a bit unremarkable.

Zuo Weiyue had just followed Lou Huai and got out of the carriage when she saw this scene.

Suddenly, there was a stunning illusion that Lou Huai seemed to have stepped out of the painting.

Lou Huai's eyes kept falling on Zuo Weiyue, and he naturally noticed the subtle changes in the color of her eyes.

She was in a happy mood for a moment, and after slightly curling her lips, Lou Wan took the horse to the snow shed and tied the reins on the horse in a low voice and asked her: "Does it look good?"

In his past life and this life, he knew that his appearance was not bad. Even after his legs were disabled in his previous life, he was still coveted by many women and even jealous of the men next to him.

But he didn't feel anything at the time and didn't think it was a good thing.

But things were different now. He found that Zuo Weiyue's eyes would always fall on him many times.

Whether he is wearing a human skin mask or not.

Just because he knew that his outstanding bone appearance could not be covered by a human skin mask.

This discovery gave him a strange sense of satisfaction. Although it was not strong, it could not be ignored.

Zuo Weiyue came back to her senses, looked at his ordinary human skin mask, and lied duplicitously: "Is it good-looking? Your human skin mask is so ordinary, does it have anything to do with being good-looking?"

After saying that, she was afraid of revealing her secret, so she skillfully took Lou Huai's right arm and got closer to him so that she could whisper to him later and then urged him: "Okay, don't you want to go in and try to see if the wish I have granted you can be fulfilled."

Do you want to use it? Let’s go quickly.”

Lou Huai glanced at her arm holding his arm, and the curvature of the corners of his lips became more obvious. Without saying anything more, he held an umbrella and walked towards the herb hall.

Before he reached the door of the herbal medicine hall, Lou Huai found that Xie Shiyun was already waiting at the door of the hall in advance, looking down shyly to pick up her own embroidered shoes.

The moment he saw Xie Shiyun, the happy expression on Lou Huai's face quickly faded away. He paused temporarily and waited quietly for about ten breaths under Zuo Weiyue's puzzled expression.

Until Lou Wan tied up the horse behind him and followed him, he never felt the familiar sense of control again. He felt the stone on his heart being let go and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just in case, he had to try it again in front of Xie Shiyun. What if it was because of the distance?

"Master, the carriage has been parked, but if you want to buy cold medicine, you can obviously go to the nearby medical hall, so why do you have to come all the way here to find some medicinal herb hall?"

As Lou Wan followed and muttered, Xie Shiyun, who was only ten steps away from Lou Huai, heard these words clearly. The shyness on her face suddenly became more obvious, and her eyes were filled with a look of joy.

He is a cautious goose, of course.
